smatch complains about two dereferenced before check issues: sep_main.c:2898 sep_free_dma_tables_and_dcb() warn: variable dereferenced before check 'dma_ctx' (see line 2885) sep_main.c:2898 sep_free_dma_tables_and_dcb() warn: variable dereferenced before check '*dma_ctx' (see line 2885) -> Move the checks to the top, but keep the semantics.
